Expecting our first baby in November, found out recently it's a boy so that's helpfully narrowed down the name search.
DH and I both like Harrison and Charlie, and are yet to find any other names we both agree on. Our thoughts on each:
Harrison
- bit unusual without being "out there"
- could shorten to Harry if we/he wanted
- potentially a bit posh...? Maybe my imagination.
Charlie
- is it a bit overused? Does it matter if there end up being 3 Charlies in his class at school?
- would be Charles on birth certificate. We'd use Charlie most of the time, but we'd/he'd have the option of a more "serious" name when needed.
We think both names go well with the middle name we've chosen (Arthur) and sound "right" with our surname. Neither of them spell anything weird/rude as initials! Also they are both (hopefully) easy/obvious spellings - I have spent my life with an awkwardly spelled first name, so don't want to inflict that on my child if I can avoid it.
Would be great to get opinions on both please!
